    I like the sound of the Alice Hoffman short story. Trans/active sounds interesting and important, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

    I want a cupcake too! 😁 Thanks for participating in and shouting out People April! I got through David Copperfield a few years ago through a strict regimen of 30 pages a day. I can’t say Dickens is my favourite author.

    I was wondering if I needed to read David Copperfield first, but will just go straight to Demon Copperhead. I so behind with booktube I need to catch up with what is going on. Happy Easter.

    I got bored with Demon Copperhead in the last third. Since I bought it new, I finished it.

      Controversial opinion here: I DNFed Demon Copperhead. Just like I did David Copperfield!

      @@MIDDLEoftheBookMARCH I’m still stuck in Middlemarch!! 🤪 It’s not an easy read with all the foot notes which are at the back of the copy I’m reading. She was a brillant and very cultured but she’s trying to show it a little too much for my taste… Sorry! 😬

    I really enjoyed David Copperfield- although David isn’t my favorite character in the book- but I’d be bored if we all liked the same books! 😉

    5:34 - Currently reading "I'm Afraid of Men" by Vivek Shraya. It's been on my list for a while, and I'm happy that I've finally gotten around to reading it.

    I hadn't read David Copperfield when I picked up Demon Copperhead. It will be interesting to see if you get on with Demon better.

    Luanne Rice, I haven't read her in a long time, that story sounds good, a good book to get into if I wanted to get back reading her.
    Cupcakes? I hope you got to have one. I made a whole bunch of cupcakes for my contribution to Easter Dinner. They were a hit last year, so
    trying again this year. Probably though, have to make something new next year.

    Hi Kim, I have Hard Times by Dickens on my Kindle. I've only read Oliver Twist by Dickens so far. I tried to read David Copperfield to my kids when they were young and they DNF'd It LOL Aloha.

    With the exception of A Christmas Carol I have DNFed every Dickens book I've started. And it is saddening because I want so much to like them.

    I found David Copperfield exceptionally boring. When my kids had to read it in High School, I had to pretend to like it in order to discuss it with them. (They didn't like it either)

    I've been toying with reading David Copperfield, but I've decided that IF I make the jump I'm either going to do the audio or read it on the Serial app. I don't think I could handle just reading it straight through!
